Monster Factory - Chapter 681: Mining subsidy per ton.

At this time in Nigeria, it was still dark with the moon and scattered stars, in the center of the Anute area, in a luxurious residence surrounded by high walls and closed by iron gates, the master who dominates this land was in a very complicated mood and couldn’t sleep, finally General Mopu’s dream came true.

Earlier, his logistics supervisor Buzz had reported to him via satellite phone that near the Sotu rainforest, he not only found a metal named Dysprosium, a metal that Mr. Ye attached great importance to, but also an ore of associated uranium. It seems to be called copper-uranium mica. Although General Mopu has never heard of this mineral species, who did not know the word Uranium or heard of it as long as anyone can access the Internet?

The appearance of Dysprosium metal and copper-uranium mica ore made General Mopu both excited and frightened.

Excitedly, in the barren region of Nigeria, in the poor area of Anute, minerals have finally appeared that can impress the hearts of countless people. As long as he could stabilize his position, General Mopu felt it would not be long before the regional economic level under his rule would make a great significant leap forward and that it would be possible to build a modern and rich along the way. But benefits are always related to risks, and the degree of risk is always proportional to the number of benefits. He feared he would not be able to hold his ground against rising interest in the future and that he would be swallowed up by the hungry wolves of capitalism that gnawed the country.

If this was only a mine for the metal Dysprosium that is acceptable, another uranium mine will now surface. If he will rely only on its own backward armed forces, he could be unable to cope with it. Can the Huge Industrial Monster in the Far East stop these hungry wolves?

……

In Nigeria, a country that the world has forgotten, laws and rules only exist in beautiful hypotheses. If you want to compete for territory or resources, guns are the reason.

……

General Mopu also went online. He also went to find some information that interested him on European and American social networks. He also heard about the achievements of the Huge Industrial Monster in the global industrial field. Once the Sotu Rainforest is exploited on a large scale, the secrets inside will sooner or later be discovered by the outside world. After thinking about it, he could not clearly unravel the situation behind it. Fortunately, there was a message from Chairman Ye, asking him to set aside an hour in the day to hold a conference call to work out the details of cooperation between the two sides.

At eight o’clock in the morning, local time, General Mopu was in a daze, sensing someone was knocking on the bedroom door. It was only when something important happened that his subordinates dared to disturb his sleep.

“General, Mr. Ye called you and said he wanted to talk to you in detail about the specific mining plan.”

General Mopu’s discomfort suddenly disappeared and got up from bed. Shit, he actually overslept. Not caring to dress, he shook his head a few times, cleared his throat, and trotted to the office. After taking a deep breath, he waved his neighbor out.

“Hello, Mr. Ye.” General Mopu held back his excitement.

The call will last an hour, and he has time to express his doubts one by one.

“Hello, General Mopu.”

“So let’s get down to business. We’re all friends. Let’s be impolite to each other,” Ye Qing said with a smile on the phone: “In the future, we will always be close partners, and the two parts will develop together. Around the mining area, there will be multiple operations.”

General Mopu nodded and said yes, then said the first thought in his mind.

“Mr. Ye, you need to build roads and factories before you start mining. I made a rough count of the workforce in Anute last year. The number of male workers aged from 18 to 35 is 200,000. If Mr. Ye can give these people a job…”

“General Mopu, 5,000 initial construction posts are enough. Now they are all large-scale mechanical automatisms, and the number of people has no effect on the overall situation.”

“You can choose those 5,000 people. But you must ensure their moral quality, and the training of personnel is up to your military and police standards. These 5,000 people are only involved upstream in the construction of the surrounding facilities. Send professionals only, and at the same time, you must undertake the patrol mission around the Sotu rainforest mining area to prevent unrelated people from approaching.”

“Five…5,000 people…” General Mopu was very lost, according to his vision last night, A mining area of more than ten square kilometers must absorb a workforce of 30,000 to 50,000 people.

The dirty work of mining and road-building must be done by strong black people who don’t need labor laws, guaranteed minimum wage laws, human rights laws, and so on to interfere, if the backward agricultural population of 30,000 people can be transformed into an industrial population. It was a big change for the whole South, and he will be remembered as President Mopu.

“With a population of 5,000 people, considering their low level of education, 1,000 people is enough,” Ye Qing paused for a moment and then continued, “I will offer a monthly salary of 500 US dollars to these 5,000 people, and will provide room and board. In addition, I will also build a local power station with a daily output of 20 million kilowatt-hours. If you need electricity, I can provide a stable power supply at a low price.”

……

20 million kWh, equivalent to the daily electricity consumption of a coastal county in China

……

General Mopu’s lost mood and his heart jumped with excitement because of the arrival of this power station. Electricity is the cornerstone of modern civilization. In the entire Anute district, only the prefectures can guarantee the most basic lighting and power supply. In other cities, the percentage of coverage of electricity users is about 15, and in villages is 0. In this way, the Anute area will be a rich region that the whole south will envy.

20 million kWh, or a fraction of the rest, is enough to light the entire Anute area. After all, the Huge Industrial Monster is a world-renowned industrial enterprise that, as soon as it moves, can solve the power supply problem that General Mopu himself pledged to solve in ten years.

“In exchange for mining, I will also build a hospital, covering mobile communication base stations around the city, a drinking water treatment plant, a complete office building, and…”

Young President Ye, every time he talks about a construction aid project, General Mopu’s heartbeat will increase by one point.

In the end, General Mopu was too happy to breathe. It was not a detour. It was simply a matter of helping him build in a single step, the support equipment necessary for a modern city. As long as these facilities are in place, General Mopu will be sure the city of Anute will become a dazzling pearl after the capital.

“Ye Qing has always been a great businessman. He is my friend; Oh he is not my benefactor!”

After Ye Qing finished talking about the twelve aid projects in total, General Mopu felt extremely embarrassed, even before negotiating the opening price of the mining area, it was already so generous.

“After that…”

Ye Qing explained in detail the obligations that both parties must provide under the construction assistance project.

General Mopu could not help leading the subject on how to cooperate in the mining field.

“Didn’t I tell you that you don’t need mining cooperation, and there is no technical cooperation? I will only send a team for this part.”

“No… no…” General Mopu anxiously scratched his ears and cheeks. He wanted to try to express the mining area belongs to Anute. Even if it is transferred, there should be transfer fees and so on.

“Oh!” Ye Qing understood.

“Naturally, we won’t take it for nothing in this mining area, nor will we learn from these black-hearted European and American companies to buy it back at a low price. That’s…, for every ton of minerals produced in In the mining area, the Huge Industrial Monster will subsidize you two hundred dollars for mining expenses.”

General Mopu was smart again, and the deal seemed like a good deal. Two hundred dollars a ton seems to be much higher than the price of iron ore. How many tons of minerals should be buried in the entire mining area of the Sotu Rainforest…
